Amazing edit once again Mitch. Loved it. What's not in this video though is you not being able to get out of bed the next day (LOL) and me getting proper sick 48 hours later. You could have perhaps titled the video - The Ride That Destroyed Cam's Immune System. hahaha. But was it worth it for lifetime memories and KZitem glory? Absolutely.

mates and i did an alps trip a few years back. That 2nd climb you did (Col du Glandon) was the hardest and least enjoyable climb for me of that entire week. F'ing brutal and never-ending. Col du Galibier from Valloire was my favorite climb I've ever done - absolutely stunning! Looks like you had to dig super deep to finish - well done! Type II fun for sure!

There used to be a time (about a half-hour ago) where I had only watched some random Cam and Mitch's videos and I couldn't tell the difference between the two, and I genuinely thought that they were the same person. Imagine my reaction when I saw the intro of this video. I reckon this is how a flat-earthener feels when they finally realize the world is actually donut-shaped. Absolutely insane.

Croix de la Fer - lol...... think yourself lucky you joined it from Pas de Confession balcony road as the drag up the dam from Allemond is a rude awakening. Great point about long rides at about 17mins in. But that said how many hobby level cyclists who take on this kind of stuff can spare 6-7hr training rides regular and TBH if your doing a "bucket list" trip you need to be able to do them back to back for the stimulus and to build the fatigue resistance.

Not a good advert for Keytones and a stupid rear cassette 😊 I did the same route this year on a 36/28 and water and am 58. I definitely think the Croix de Fer is the hardest of those climbs though but the Galibier is the nicest experience due to the terrain and views. Well put together video and for putting up with the flies, I’ve never experienced that in the Alps.

Your experience on the second climb reminds me of when I decided to tackle a 22 mile climb that averages 4% not far from where I live. I didn't analyze the profile very well and didn't notice the last six miles included two sections about a mile long each at over 7%. I'd only been cycling for about 3 1/2 months at that point, and was questioning all my life's decisions that got me there.
